iPhone 5 cases for $10 or less?

[sch11]

Is there anything decent in this price range? I just want something that makes the thing easier to pick up and protects it a bit from drops.

Check out the ringke slim cases on amazon ... Good reviews and $10 shipped with prime. I bought two and they are great.

I personally like the Anker Glaze, 2 piece case. It's on sale for 6.99 right now http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Glaze-...F8&qid=1350774592&sr=8-3&keywords=anker+glaze.

I have the soft version of the case you are talking about.

The case feels good and all, but after a while of holding it, it feels oily. It has a very good fit, and snaps on tight. Other than that I have no other complaints. Will stick to this till I can find a reasonable priced aluminum bumper.

You can get bumpers from China on the dollars from ebay.

Type in "TPU cases " in ebay. Very sturdy and go on slim, well, most of them do.

I have the Noot T5 that I bought on eBay. Slim and not a lot of fall protection but pretty well made for $9.99.

That argument is irrelevant since 90% of iPhone cases on the market are cheap to manufacture and are marked up ridiculously

I use one of these on my black/slate:

Kept it looking mint condition so far even after it's slipped out of my pocket once or twice. *OUCH*

Free screen protectors were a nice bonus too!

Kind of nice to be able to swap the look of my phone - I bought the white and the black cases so it's cool being able to switch around depending on my mood.

I agree that the price doesn't necessarily match up with the quality of the case. Most of the time you will find the cheap cases to be exactly that - cheap cases with poor quality and fit. However, there are quite a few out there that are superb for the price. I've searched high and low for the perfect case and one of my favorites is the Noot case for $9.99. The design, fit and quality definitely keep pace with the big brands out there.

My crazy search has led me to my personal favorites - swapping back and forth between the white Noot and the Switcheasy Tones. I'm a happy camper here with these cases. And I thank the members of this forum for suggesting them.

Edit: nevermind, apparently this thing is kind of slippery.

Thanks for all the input. I'm thinking of going with this one:

It's around $10 and I like that there's no overlay on any of the buttons and the bottom is fully exposed, so no issues with muffled or tinny sound out of the speakers.

I second the Ringke Slim case. I've been satisfied since I received it.
